This deep, dark garnet-colored Morgon immediately captivates with its aromas of ripe stone fruits (Burlat cherries, peaches, plums) and even a hint of kirsch. On the palate, it is generous and round, with pronounced tannins. A beautiful Beaujolais with Burgundian notes.

Wine rated (2020 guide) 14/20 (Good wine)
Rated estate (2022 guide) Selected (Please note that this guide is a ranking, and as such, all the estates listed here—even those without a star—represent, in our view, the pinnacle of French winemaking.)
About the wine:
This Morgon, made from grapes grown on two plots, offers notes of blood orange and orange peel. Its lively texture is more full-bodied than long-lasting. It lacks a bit of freshness.
About the estate:
Cathy Duthel and her husband David Duthel took over from Jean-Paul Ruet, who expanded bottled wine sales at this estate founded in 1926. A proponent of traditional semi-carbonic vinification, the Ruet estate adapts to the profile of each vintage, partially destemming depending on the year, aging in wood or in tanks, punching down and racking to bring out the maximum fruitiness. The meticulous work in the vineyards highlights the harmony between the soil and the Gamay grape. The extensive and highly consistent range can be explored in a well-stocked tasting room.
